Let Team Aro Make the Entire Process as Easy as Possible!

At Team Aro, we know how difficult it can be to sell a home on your own. Between putting your home on the market, keeping up with inquiries, organizing showings, and handling paperwork, selling a home in Gig Harbor can quickly turn into a full-time job.

Team Aro has years of experience in the Gig Harbor real estate market, and we’ll walk you through the entire process from start to finish. Read on to learn more about why you should choose our real estate team, and get in touch with us using the form on this page to schedule a consultation!

Getting Your House Market Ready

So, you’ve decided to sell your home in Gig Harbor. What’s next?

Before you start having your shown home to potential buyers, be sure to stage your home. Whether you are keeping your furniture and decorations in place as is, or are having your home professionally staged, it is incredibly important that you create a “livable” aesthetic. When potential buyers are looking at your home, they typically have an idea of what they want their home to look like. When a home is staged, buyers will have an easier time picturing how they might potentially set up, and decorate their home — whether they love the staging of your home or it gives them ideas of what they might do differently.

Not only can staging your home before putting it on the market increase the value of your home, but it can also reduce the amount of time that your home is on the market. When staging your home, be sure to deep clean each room, declutter, de-personalize, and decorate neutrally. If you have any questions about staging your home, be sure to speak with a local Gig Harbor real estate professional at Team Aro!

Pricing

When it comes to selling a home, one of the most challenging aspects of the process is setting the correct price. Pricing a home is a bit of a balancing act — you want to set a price that will cover your expenses, be competitive in the market, and reflect the true value of the home.

If a price is set too high, then it could keep potential buyers from taking your listing into consideration. While you might be able to find a buyer that is willing to meet a high price, it will usually lead to a house being listed for too long. When a house does not sell in the expected timeframe, it can cause buyers to worry whether the property has more issues than it seems. Not only does this compound issues, but it also forces you to live with the stress of selling your home for a longer period of time!

Setting too low of a price can also be a major issue for sellers. The most obvious consequence of a low price is that you miss the opportunity to get the price you deserve for the property. If the house is severely underpriced, then buyers might worry about the condition of the house.

At Team Aro, we take great pride in understanding the real estate market in Gig Harbor. Our team can help you set the right price based on market data so that you get the return you deserve in a timely manner.

Listing

Let’s assume you have decided to sell your home in Gig Harbor. What is the next step? If you have never sold a home before, then this question can be daunting. An experienced real estate team such as Team Aro can assist you with getting your home listed and in front of as many potential buyers as possible.

Marketing is a major factor when it comes to selling your home, and unless you work with real estate each day, it is almost impossible to fully understand the most effective marketing methods to use when you list your home. Should you use digital ads, print ads, or something else? Where is the best place to put your listing? What features of your home should you highlight?

An experienced team can help you answer all of these questions and assist with generating interest among potential buyers. Linda and Ed have years of experience and know how to effectively highlight the best features in a home so that it can sell quickly.

Negotiating

Home selling is stressful and challenging, but not many aspects of the process actually invoke fear. Negotiating is different— it is often uncomfortable and many people worry that they will misstep and accidentally cause problems.

When it comes to selling your home, the person on the other end of the negotiation table will often be an experienced real estate agent, which can magnify the problems of negotiating on your own. Linda and Ed can handle negotiating for you with thousands of negotiations under their belt that are pros at negotiations. If you choose to let us assist you, we will work diligently to ensure that you get the terms you deserve.

Repaint and refresh

Repainting the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and any additional room in your home that needs a fresh coat of paint should be one of the first steps you take when you decide to sell your home. A new layer of paint is simply one of the best ways to improve any room, and it is an affordable step you can take to increase the value of your home. Be sure to use neutral colors that pair well with natural light, and don’t forget to repaint your home’s exterior if necessary!

In addition to repainting, you should also buy new light bulbs for all of the lights in your house and consider upgrading lighting in simple ways. Buyers will want to see your house clearly, so take steps to ensure that it is illuminated well. Moreover, there will be numerous tours as your house is being sold, so it is a good idea to have extra light bulbs on hand.

Declutter and Deep Clean

For many buyers in Gig Harbor, the amount of space in a house is a major factor to consider when buying a home. No matter the size of your home, you can make it feel more spacious by decluttering the most important areas. Decrease the number of things in your closet, move extra items to storage, and be sure to remove any non-essential items in your kitchen and living room. Create room for potential buyers to imagine making the property their own.

Similarly, you should take some time to polish your home until it shines. Consider hiring a professional cleaning company to make your property spotless, and at the very least, spend a day or two scrubbing, vacuuming, and cleaning each part of your home.

make repairs and upgrades

Are all of your cabinet fixtures attached properly? Is there damage to any walls, doors, or cabinets in your home? Do your faucets work correctly, or do they leak?

Ask yourself these questions when you get ready to sell your home, and make any minor repairs. By getting small issues like these fixed, you will show buyers that you care about the state of your home, and they will be more likely to trust that the entire property is in excellent condition. Furthermore, minor repairs can increase the value of a house greatly.

Take some time to consider making major upgrades to your house, too. Purchasing new appliances can be a great way to improve your home and attract potential buyers. Focus on the kitchen first when you make upgrades.

Work With a Realtor®

Finally, some of the best advice to follow when selling your home is to find an experienced Realtor® that you can trust. Good real estate agents can assist you with marketing and choosing the right improvements to make to your home. When you find an agent you can trust, they can refer you to professional cleaners, painters, and photographers, all of which will be fantastic people to have on hand when you sell your home. Team Aro is proud to be a group of expert Realtors® with experience selling homes throughout Gig Harbor. Be sure to contact us to gain more insight into selling your home.
